RUSH: Before we go to the phones we have a guy from Miami on the phone. Grab audio sound bite number three, 'cause he's calling about this. Last night in Rochester, New Hampshire, Q&A, an unidentified audience member and Trump had this exchange...
MAN: Okay, we have a problem in this country. It's called Muslims. We know our current president is one.
TRUMP: Right.
MAN: You know, he's not even an American.
TRUMP: We need this question! (laughing) This is the first question! (laughing)
AUDIENCE: (laughing)
MAN: But, anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That's my question.
TRUMP: We're gonna be looking at a lot of different things and, you know, a lot of people are saying that and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there. We're gonna be looking at that and plenty of other things.
Nets Tout Hillary ‘Pouncing’ on Trump Not Denouncing Supporter
RUSH: Okay. So now there is a cacophony all across the American media because Trump did not correct the guy. He did not protect Obama, didn't shield Obama, didn't correct the guy. And they're very, very upset about this. Let's go back and listen to how McCain dealt with something like this. Let's go back October 10, 2008. This was in Lakeville, Minnesota.
WOMAN: I gotta ask you a question. I do not, uh, believe in... I can't trust Obama. I have read about him, and he's not -- he's not -- he's a -- he's an Arab. He is not --
AUDIENCE: (laughing)
MCCAIN: No, ma'am.
WOMAN: No?
MCCAIN: No, ma'am. He's a -- he's -- a he's a decent family man.
RUSH: Right. (impression) "He's a decent family man! In fact, he's smarter. It's smarter to vote for him than vote for me! He's a decent guy. Yeah." That's how we do it. That's how we seek the approval of the Drive-By Media, and they loved McCain for that. Last night on CNN Anderson Cooper 360 after playing a clip of that exchange between Trump and the campaign rally guy you just heard, Anderson Cooper weighed in.
COOPER: He could have at that point said, "You know what? Muslims in America are not the problem. You know, by and large the Muslim population in America is well assimilated and are Americans just like anybody else. We're supporting Muslim regimes around the world. We have our soldiers and Marines who have fought and died to help Muslims around the world." He could have said all of that, and that's... I'm imagining he wishes he possibly said that.
RUSH: Same show, David "Rodham" Gergen was on. Anderson Cooper said, David "Rodham" Gergen, "Is it the responsibility of a leader like Trump to actually say something like that when one of their [stupid] supporters pipes up?"
GERGEN: It's the responsibility of the leader to push back against prejudice. That question was heavily laden with prejudice. Anderson, the presidency of the United States is not only the most powerful position in the world, but it also carries with it a certain moral responsibility toward the health of a society. And if you're going to be a serious campaign for president, you've gotta step up to that responsibility.
RUSH: Chris Christie stepped up on the Today show today, interviewed by Matt Lauer. Question: Does Mr. Trump need to apologize to the president and to Muslims out there?
I still don’t understand all the mess this is making...
Then go to the Betrayal Papers and read the articles, everything you ever wanted to know about obuma is right there along with some others you need to know about....
Thanks for posting
I resent these media types telling us what we can and cannot say, and imposing pc censorship on all Americans. It is certainly because of them we have Barrack Hussein Obama as President. No politician could say the word Hussein during the first election.
With almost a third of population questioning his faith, if Obama can’t convince Americans he’s not a moslem then it certainly isn’t Trump’s job to do so.
Hadn’t seen that. Loved it, thanks.
I don’t think Couric had ever heard that before. It was all she could do to keep from having Cruz arrested or beheaded or something. Could Couric’s body language have been any clearer? She had to be in great physical pain with all that clenching.
I’m a Christian and guess what? I don’t wear a ring inscribed with the Shahada. “There is no God but Allah” Gee I wonder why people think Barky’s a Muslim?
This is not the slam dunk gotcha moment they think it is. Most people know we have a huge problem with unassimilated radical Islamists.
You said it
I think the questioner was a Trump plant. Maybe the result of a late-night bet among friends, with Trump saying, I bet I can boost my media exposure by a factor of 5 without saying a word. And the stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid media stepped right up and proved him right.
Did I mention they are stupid? They really think the voters care that Trump FAILED TO DEFEND OBAMA?????
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
